Continuing breastfeeding!!!

Discard my last post. I'm continuing breastfeeding!! YAY! When you start to breastfeed it will hurt a lot and you will end up with cracked and sore nipples. So this is what I did to heal it up faster. I started to pump for 3-4 days exclusively every 2-3 hours and I still used the Lanolin cream to heal it up even faster. I bottle fed her my breast milk. After 4 days I started to breastfeed her again and thank goodness she wasn't hard to train to take breast again though I still bottle fed her breast milk I think twice that day. On my 5th day I only fed her with the bottle once which was at night and breastfed her the other times. On my 6th day I was so glad that she did not have any bottle feedings she was full on breastfeeding. YAY!!! It also was not painful at all. It's like it just magically went away. I am so glad.

Bottle feeding breastmilk

I have been having a hard time with breastfeeding so I have been pumping and bottle feeding her breast milk. I decided that I will bottle feed until she's 3 months and start breastfeeding again when her mouth is a little bigger. Her mouth is so tiny right now it hurts too much when she breastfeeds. I'v read that babies can have nipple confusion, but I don't really believe that. If their really hungry their going to end up sucking anything. I just hope that my milk supply will last. I currently pump every 2-3 hours and get about 3oz. I also bought formula just in case I don't make enough milk and I have it ready just for emergencies. I also have nothing against moms who use formula because even if formulas don't have all the necessary nutrients they still have some that's good for the baby. Some moms also result in using formula because of anatomical issues or because they just don't have enough time to breastfeed or pump. The most important thing is that your baby gets whats best for her/him.
